Chapter 209 (1/2)

Damn it, am I crazy? I must be crazy!

In a corner of the silver hall, Peter FASA, hiding behind the door, gasped. His face full of sweat was still in a trance, as if he had been stared at by something very scary.

Looking around, after carefully confirming that there was no one around, the young wizard breathed a sigh of relief and widened his round eyes. He was cautious like a stray dog ”running away from home”.

In the quiet corridor, Peter could even hear his own breathing and heartbeat. The noise came from the banquet hall. The sound was as distant as from another world. This illusion made him relax a lot.

At least get rid of that man?

The young wizard guessed uncertainly that a black haired guy impressed him so deeply that he couldn't believe himself.

But isn't that strange? Peter FASA, who calmed down, suddenly wondered. Just now, I was completely instinctive and subconsciously wanted to escape. But in retrospect, what is the point?

”Why did I... Run away?”

Peter, who was suddenly confused, had a tangled expression and talked to himself involuntarily.

”Yes, I also want to ask this. Why did you run away?”

Coldly, an equally confused voice came from nearby. Peter, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly stiffened and twisted his neck. A very familiar figure appeared in his eyes.

”Ah, uh huh, uh huh...”

Before Peter shouted out, Loren pressed him to the ground, covered his mouth with one hand and frowned, ”you don't want to be found, do you?”

Peter, who was put down, nodded silently.

”Can you promise not to scream? The main reason is that I don't want to be misunderstood by others.”

“……”

”I'll take it as if you agree.” Lauren turned with a shrug and a slight smile. The young wizard rubbed his waist, struggled to sit cross legged on the ground, and glanced at the black haired wizard in front of him with an embarrassed expression.

”Can you explain what's going on? If you can.”

Facing Loren's inquiry, Peter FASA's expression became more embarrassed. He forced out a smile and racked his brains to make up a reason that didn't sound so outrageous: ”er... You know, I sneaked in, so I'm inevitably afraid to see acquaintances.”

”Oh, so it is.”

The black haired wizard with a serious face nodded solemnly, as if he really believed this nonsense: ”it scared me to death. I thought you were going to plot an evil plan to steal the alchemy formula of the Bellini family!”

Peter FASA's expression was too embarrassed to be more embarrassed.

”Er... Ha ha, what are you talking about? How could I do such a thing...”

Before they finished speaking, the two people who heard the footsteps at the same time looked at the other end of the corridor together with a very tacit understanding - the footsteps became clearer and closer to them.

Peter FASA, who was stunned, suddenly got up and grabbed Lauren's collar: ”ayin, you should leave here as soon as possible and don't delay a quarter of an hour - this party is different from what you think. It's too late if you don't go again!”

”Alas?”

”Go! If they find me here...”

The footsteps had reached the corner of the corridor. Peter FASA, who turned to run, was grabbed by Lauren's collar and thrown into the room behind him. From opening to closing, he was crisp without leaving a trace.

Except for a fluorite ring.

As like as two peas, he was picked up by his own body, and his expression was looked at. He had been given a similar copy before he came to the town of Eldon.
